Planning to be in London? Ryanair launches new cheap flights

 With budget airline Ryanair you know exactly what you are getting: a seat on a plane that may, or may not, depart on time. 

Want to reserve a seat? That will cost you more. Want extra baggage? Pay up. Want something to eat? Hand over your credit card.

It's cheap, but not necessarily cheerful  

If you are happy to just get a cheap seat to a faraway destination you might never have heard of, then there are some intriguing options available on the Ryanair network. 

Ryanair has just revealed its London summer 2025 schedule with seven new routes from London Stansted.

The airline will launch new flights to Bodrum, Clermont-Ferrand, Dalaman, Münster, Lübeck, Linz (a re-launch) and Reggio Calabria, as well as extra frequencies on 30 other London routes. 

OK. These are not mainstream destinations. I even had to look up Dalaman, as I'd never heard of it. It's in south-west Turkey, apparently. But flights start from around $60.  

Overall, Ryanair is offering a total of 206 routes.

To support this traffic growth, Ryanair will base one new Boeing 737 in London Stansted for the summer, travel site Travel Mole reports. 

This brings Ryanair’s total London-based fleet to 56 aircraft and will create 30 new jobs for pilots, cabin crew and engineers.

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said: “We are pleased to announce new summer routes from London. We are also launching extra frequencies on 30 other London routes.”
